BPM field in tags read incorrectly

I'm using iTunes 6, and I have all my MP3's tagged with their BPM (used an analyzer on my PC). However, iTunes is not reading a lot of them correctly, and the BPM's show up as rediculous values varying from around 328 to 64428. Some files are fine.
If I view the tags in any other program, they're fine.
Any ideas?

I experienced the same issue and after some research discovered that the cause was MixMeister (the PC program that wrote the TBPM frames) wrote the value with a decimal point which is actually against the original ID3v2 spec, it is required to be an integer. Apparently iTunes for Windows supports reading the 'misformatted' BPM field while iTunes for Mac chokes as we see. As a solution I wrote a small Java app to truncate the fractional values from the TBPM frames. If anyone is interested in using it feel free to contact me at brian(at)jaxzin.com

Able to paste in form outside fields in Adobe Reader

I have created a Form in LiveCycle Designer 8, saved it and re-opened it in Acrobat Pro to enable usage rights in Reader and re-saved it.
When opened in Reader it can be filled in and saved. the problem I'm having is that the user filling in the form is able to paste text in the form outside the fields. How can I prevent this? I don't want the form to be editable in any way other than completing the fields and saving the filled form.
Also, I have validated the date fields in the form so that the Display, Edit, Validation and Data patterns are(MM-YY) which triggers a customised error message. When the User clicks ok to the error message the date field retains what was incorrectly entered - rather than clearing it for correction - and focus is no longer on the field in question.
Is there a way I can prevent the user being able to enter anything in the date field other than via the drop down calendar? Even if I can, this obviously requires the user to enter a day which is superfluous to requirements, but I have read that the calendar can't be switched off so I'm not sure how to get around this, other than offering an explanation to the user to select any day as long as it is the correct month and year.
Any ideas?
I would really appreciate some help with these issues.

Thanks, I will do that. Loking fwd to testing.
Curious, will Arcobat.com ever have a similar feature where users can Save a Copy when/if the doc is opened from Acrobat.com - much like Google Drive (as it's supposed to work)?
I know you mentioned putting in a request for Save a Copy...but hopefully we'll eventually have an option to not only Save a Copy but also specify the location (ie Dropbox, local Documents, location on SD card, Acrobat.com, etc. vs only being restricted to the source when the file was originally opened. Or maybe just being able to pick a different folder than the source folder. I think either would be a great addition for both Android and iPad versions of Reader especially since many similar apps already allow you to do so.

Form field tool tips & Read Out Loud

I know that having tool tips for form fields in a PDF is a requirement for accessibility. When I use View > Read This Page in Acrobat, the reader does not read the tool tips for the form fields, even though I've turned on Read form fields in Preferences > Reading. I have a both check boxes and text fields on the form.
What do I need to do to have the Read This Page feature read the form field tool tips?
And, if the Read This Page features does actually read the form field tool tips, wouldn't it be rather redundant that it reads the tool tip and then it also reads the text label printed on the form?
Are certain types of form fields considered 'not accessible?'
Thanks for any help you can provide.

What do I need to do to have the Read This Page feature read the form field tool tips?
Sorry, to the best of my knowledge the Acrobat Read Out Loud feature cannot be coaxed into reading form field tips. But you have other options like the PAC 1.3 preview feature and the Callas pdfGoHTML plug in - that let you see the form fields and tips in the context that an assistive technology user would hear them. Or you could use the excellent free screen reader NVDA. Or pay for JAWS.
And, if the Read This Page features does actually read the form field tool tips, wouldn't it be rather redundant that it reads the tool tip and then it also reads the text label printed on the form?
Yes, form field tips can be repetitive. Accessibility rules can be dogmatic. If a form field is labeled and tagged properly and it would be annoyingly repetitive to include a tip, and if you are not constrained by a must-pass-the-dogmatic-accessibility-checker rule, feel free to use your good judgment regarding when it makes sense to leave out the tip.
Are certain types of form fields considered 'not accessible?'
My understanding is that XFA-based PDF forms are problematic from an accessibility standpoint. Standard PDF forms should always be made accessible.
Hope this helps.

Add form fields to tags - not working

I have a fillable form with one simple text form field. I run the "Advanced > Accessibility > Add form fields to tags" but the tags do not change. After I run the command it is grayed out so it looks like it's done. I can save, close and reopen to make that command available again, but it never affects the tags and the accessibility check continues to give the error.
Anyone have that problem or know how to fix it? I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.3.3
Thanks!

Rather than use TORU for form fields why not use the "Find" feature on the Options menu from the Tags panel?
Find "Unmarked Annotations" then use the Tag Element button on the Find Element dialog.
Select "Form" for the element ("tag").
Add something useful to the "Title" field.
[edit: n.b., this method lets you avoid putting a marquee down that inadvertently encompasses undesired text]
This won't affect use of AT but gives you something to locate as you look over the structure tree.
This method puts the <Form> element at the bottom of the structure tree; so, the elements would have to be manually moved to the proper location in the structure.
Alternatively, place focus on the appropriate parent element for the PDF page content.
The new <Form> element will be placed there - still may have to adjust it location in the structure tree - just closer to that location.
As to working within the structure tree when adding elements.
Yes, best practice that.
TORU - Read Order provides a gross/macro view via the highlight(s) and element desination.
Read Order should, in almost all cases, be harmonized to the structure tree's logical hierarchy.
You may find use of the in-line grouping element <Span> useful.
Be well...

Problem after assigning field-symbol in read statement...

Hello Experts,
I want to use a universal field-symbol in reading my internal tables so
I can avoid declaring multiple work areas. Here is my code:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_any> type any.
READ TABLE lt_orderadm_h INDEX 1 ASSIGNING <fs_any>.
Now when I try to insert this code:
IF NOT <fs_any>-object_id IS INITIAL.
ENDIF.
It says that <fs_any> has no structure and therefore no component called object_id.
I think that I need to use assign component for this but I don't know the code.
Thank you guys and take care!

Hi
DATA : WA_ITORDERADM_H LIKE LINE OF IT_ORDERADM_H.
**Try to assign the work area rather type any**
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_any> type WA_ITORDERADM_H.
READ TABLE lt_orderadm_h INDEX 1 ASSIGNING <fs_any>.
Now when I try to insert this code:
IF NOT <fs_any>-object_id IS INITIAL.
ENDIF.
Check this program
This works for me
Simple program.
TYPES: BEGIN OF NAME,
NEXTNAME(10),
FIRSTNAME(10),
LASTNAME(10),
END OF NAME.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <F> TYPE NAME.
DATA: LINE(30).
LINE = 'JOHN SMITH SHRI'.
ASSIGN LINE TO <F> CASTING.
WRITE: / 'Lastname:', <F>-LASTNAME,
'Firstname:', <F>-FIRSTNAME,
'Nextname :', <F>-NEXTNAME

Adding form fields breaks tag structure

I have been teaching workshops at my university on creating accessible PDF forms from MS Word. I am very familiar with PDF accessibility. For the most part, the process of field recognition, marking up tables, writing tooltips, manipulating the tag tree, etc., all goes smoothly. I have noticed something that is creating a lot more work for our people, however.
After adding forms to the tagged PDF using recognition and the Tools > Forms > Add New Field tool, we adjust the field tab order and add tooltips. Once all of that is in place and we are ready to fine tune, we click the Tools > Accessibility > Add Form Fields to Tags button. Adding Form Fields to Tags does not work consistently if you edit the tag structure manually while in the Forms creation process. You can do some tag remediation prior to entering the Forms tool, but if you edit the tag structure while in Forms, the Adding Form Fields to Tags often does nothing -- this is certainly a bug in Acrobat X but it is not hard to work around.
The larger problem is that after we click Add Form Fields to Tags button, the tag structure reveals itself to be very much distorted and extreme amounts of tag structure remediation is required. Here are three screen shots that illustrate the point.
This first image shows the on-screen appearance.
Below is the expanded tags tree, prior to adding fields to the tag structure:
The tag structure is clean and elegant. If I were to publish this, no remediation would be necessary.
And here is the tag structure after adding form fields:
What has happened is Acrobat has grabbed recognized form fields and other elements in the document and has jammed them into the tag structure. Other things are affected as well. For example, headings in the page have extra, redundant textruns in them.
This has radically negatively affected the tag structure, requiring the author to do lots of remediation.
Any recommendations? solutions? similar experiences?
It seems obvious to me that this is a flaw in Acrobat that needs to be addressed, if accessibility is a goal. Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong??

Hi Daver1111,
Nope. No answer and nothing from Adobe.
I know something is going really really wrong, too: We have a product called CommonLook. It's an enterprise-level PDF accessibility remediation tool. It works well in fixing most structural problems in PDF through a relatively easy to use interface--you just drag textruns and elements around. It also has some tools that automate cleanup for accessibility.
I have no problem using this tool 99% of the time, but when I use it on forms I have made in Acrobat, the CommonLook plugin hangs when I try to save the PDF. It identifies a "structural error" in the PDF and crashes, leaving the PDF unchanged.
You can change the PDF in Acrobat by spending time moving around and creating new elements and deleting extra textruns and such, but, wow, what a royal pain in the *** that is!
Since no one is from Adobe is responding, I'm going to file a bug report.
Cheers,

NFC tags read/write operations on low level

Hi,
I know this is little bit offtopic question - but since you are experts in the area I will try to ask you probably a pretty simple question:
1/ I would like to know which protocol is used for the read/write operations to the NFC tags are used. According to my understanding after the tag is placed on the NFC reader (NFC phone, USB reader), it is powered and set to the ready state. Then the application protocol for read/write operation is used. As I think the exact format and the content of commands used for read/write is not specified in ISO 14443 and it is dependent on a tag hardware/manufacturer and will be different for FeliCa/Mifare/Innovision/etc. tags, so there is no way how to handle NFC tags read/write operations with the single implementation. Is that assumption correct?
2/ Are there any tags, which supports the APDU 7816-4 commands for read/write operations?
Thank you for reply
Kind regards,
STeN

hello,
you have to read the NFC forum specs. all of this will be better explained than by me.
more than one protocol are used according the the contactless front end configuration and abilities. It includes ISO14443-A, ISO14443-B and Felica. Sometimes other protocols are also available, for example Innovatron (not Innovision lol)
Mifare is not a protocol, it is a line of NXP products. These products use the lower layers of the ISO14443-A protocol specification.
There are 4 types of tags
1) using the lower layers of ISO14443-A
2) using the lower layers of ISO14443-B
3) something related to felica?
not sure exactly about these 3, you have to read the specs. Everything is clearly understandable, not like ETSI.
4) something using ISO7816-4 commands on top of ISO14443 A or B or others. You have SELECT, READ BINARY, UPDATE BINARY. You can implement that using javacard, I did it and it works. You need two binary files, that can be hardcoded.

Metadata fields like Tags, page ID etc not available for a Content in Content Server info.

Hi,
Am trying to build a Webcenter Portal application with the help of a tutorial. This requires to upload files to Content Server and use these files to build the app. and to link the navigations for menu and sub-menus.
I have checked in the files manually into Webcenter Content but when checked for the Content Information, metadata fields like Tags, Page ID, Websites etc are not displayed.
These fields are necessary to relate to the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) query used in application.
The tutorial link am referring to is : Connecting to and Managing Content Repositories - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0)
Content Management system server version is: 11gR1- 11.1.1.7.0
Please let me know if am missing something.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Nivedana

Thanks Naresh. It worked.
Can you please suggest few good links to gain more knowledge on UCM. I have tried a few, but not good enough.
Thanks,

How to run duplicate fields with different read/write capability

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to have 2 identical fields but with different read / write capabilities. For example:
I have a document that has a policy number in textfield1 in the application. I also have a page footer textfield2 that is identically named as textfield1. I want the customer to be able to enter their policy number in textfield1, but then i want textfield2 to show that same information but remain locked and read-only.
How can I best accomplish this?
Thanks,
Ryan.

Hi,
This doesn't seem to work.
My field names are policy_number and policy_number2.
I have entered this script into the field validation for policy_number2.
event.value = this.getField("policy_number").value;
It's showing blank in the policy_number2 field.
Ryan.

Print Live Fields Only in Reader

Does anyone know how you can print "live fields only" in Reader?
I want my clients to open up a form (either created in LiveCycle or Acrobat 8 Pro), be able to fill out the fields and then print ONLY the fields they filled in, into a pre-printed brochure through their ink jet printers at home. (Basically they are filling our their own contact information to be printed on a brochure)
I can seem to find an option to print like this in Reader.

Unfortunately I don't get this option in Reader, only in Acrobat. My clients will be using Reader to fill out form and print. I guess I am going to have to create something different in Acrobat, so that the clients won't have to worry about not having that option in Reader.

RFID Tag reading thru Sensormatic RFID reader

All,
Did any body tested the Sensormatic RFID reader with AII ? How to test the HTTP connection between the reader and AII ? We have configured the HTTP RFC destination in SAP AII. But when we read the TAG from the reader, we are not able trace any response from the reader. How to configure the reader ? How will the Reader understand and send the info to AII. Anybody configured the Sensormatic RFID reader for the outband slap & ship scenario. Thanks.

Update-changed-fields-only tag

I have a problem using the "update-changed-fields-only" tag in oc4j v 9.0.2.0.0:
I set it on true but it still make the update on ALL the entity fields :(
This is a real problem when I made independent changes on different fields of the same record in one method using different instances of a entity bean: the container makes a final update on ALL the fields losing changes I previousely made in the method.
Is there a way to avoid this?
Thanks

Valentin -- This is the first I heard of this happening. Can you send a simple test case (including source) to [email protected] and I will take a look at it?
Thanks -- Jeff

After shutting down Firefox 3.68, an error message reading "Incorrect Function" pops up.

I upgraded to Firefox 3.68 about four days ago. After shutting down Firefox 3.68, an error message reading "Incorrect Function" pops up. I click "OK." Nothing seems to happen, either good or bad.
I installed Comodo Internet Security a few days before I upgraded to Firefox 3.68.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I upgraded to Firefox 3.68.

I am the original poster. The problem seems to have nothing to do with my upgrade to Firefox 3.6.8 but with a configuration change I made to System Mechanic after I switched to Comodo Internet Security.

Read Out Loud won't read tags, reads content instead

Hi,
I have a PDF generated through a third party library, and it is a tagged PDF (running it in PAC 1.3 and 2.0 says it passes accessibility test) and when I use the Read Out Loud feature on it in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and Adobe Reader, it ignores all the tags (including any Alternate and Actual text fields) and reads the content of the PDF instead of the tags. It even reads the header and the footer which are marked as Artifacts, which is strange as Artifacts should never be read out loud. When I run NVDA and have it read the PDF, it reads it normally as expected (reads only the tags, and follows the Alternate/Actual text fields).
http://www.sendspace.com/file/4ouw92
Here's an example of the file. I would expect the Read Out Loud feature to start with "I don't know", but instead it says DEVELOPMENT (an artifact) and then I D N, then I expect it to get to the last line of text before the footer and then simply continue to the second page, but it will instead read the header and the footer before it moves on to the next page. Any reason why it behaves like this? Why it ignores the tags and why it doesn't ignore the artifacts?
Thanks,
Dejan

Hi "a C student",
Thank you for your reply.
In order to make a sample of the pdf I changed actual code to produce the PDF I have linked to in my original post, and I didn't actually check that it passes PAC 1.3 and 2.0, as I simply believed that my code change did exactly the same thing that the production code does. It of course did not, and I gave you a "possessed" PDF Sorry about that. Here is a new sample, this time done a bit better
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ndajik
In PAC 1.3 it only warns about bookmarks, in 2.0 it fails the font embedding which should not be an issue and says PDF/UA identifier is not set - this might be the issue, but I do not know how to set it, I understood that all I need is to have the Title, Language and some other metadata fields set for the PDF to be PDF/UA compliant.
Anyway, I hope this sample works out better for you
Thanks,
Dejan

Special Field- Record Number count incorrect

Hi,
Looks like the record number special field is displaying the record count incorrectly. There are no records returned by the query nor there are any records in the detail section of the report. But the record number in the report footer shows 1. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Sirisha

One way to "fix" it would be to do a count on a field in the details section and then compare that count to NULL or zero and if so then display zero otherwise display the recordnumber.
1. Create a running total on a field in the details section that doesnt reset.
2. Create a formula with:
if isnull({#RTotal0}) or {#RTotal0} = 0 then 0 else recordnumber
3. Display the formula instead of the recordnumber in the report footer.
